If you haven’t heard of Howie Day before, I highly recommend that you check out some of his music. The reason I say you should check out some of his music is because he is an extremely talented musician, and of all the people that I have exposed to his music, I can’t think of a single one that didn’t like listening to it.

In case you aren’t familiar with Howie Day, I will provide you with a little bit of background information on him. Although he had been playing music and touring for some time prior to releasing this album, his first actual album release was called Australia, which was released back in 2000 (it was then re-released by Epic Records in 2002). The song off of this album that really launched his career was She Says.

After the re-release of Australia, Day began to gain more popularity, and began touring once again. At the end of 2003, he released Stop All the World Now, and the song off of this album that really made his popularity take off was Collide (because this song has been used in a variety of movies and television shows).

Although he had to deal with some personal issues, Day is now in the studio and is working on a new album, which is scheduled to be released sometime during 2009.

One interesting fact about Day is that when he was getting his start and touring for the first time, he actually used a drum machine during his live performances. In addition to using this drum machine while he was touring, he also used it to record some of his early EPs.
